ARL Team Summer Showdown

Welcome to the ARL GT3 Team Summer showdown

Welcome drivers and teams to a thrilling 6 round team competition bringing 2v2 competition to the grid with GT3 teams. Teams will consist of 2 drivers with 2 livery matching cars(any manufacturer). 60-100 minute races per round with a 120 minute finale. Final round also worth double points. One event every 3 weeks. Trophies awarded to the winning team, based on shipping. Champions’ ring awarded to the top overall driver, based on shipping.

Please create your team with Simgrid before signing up. Make sure you and your teammate select the same team when signing up. Teams must be using similar color liveries. Drivers wishing to participate without a team may sign up in the Gentleman class. Gentleman class drivers are encouraged to pair together and form a team, but not a requirement.
Race weekend will consist of:

• 45 minute practice session
• 10 minute qualifying session 
• 60-120 minute race(different pit strategy each round)

A success ballast will be used on the top 3 drivers in overall standings after each event.(1st=10kg, 2nd=7kg, 3rd=5kg) No success ballast used in finale race. If a team driver will have to miss a race, a Gentleman class driver can be subbed in for team scoring purposes. You don’t need to physically add the driver to your team, but team will have to make admin aware before the race to know a sub is being used. This is not a requirement, but an option to not miss out on scoring because a teammate has to miss a race. Gentleman driver can only be subbed onto 1 team per event. Gentleman class can be used as a sub as many times as needed throughout the series.

Special rules for the series will include different mandatory stops each race. Pit requirements for each race will be posted in ARL discord. Drivers will have 10 sets of tires each race weekend. This will be a team championship and drivers championship all in one.

Blue flags do not have to give up the racing line. We ask that you do not defend into the corners and allow room or if possible a slight lift down the straights to help facilitate a pass. It is the faster car’s responsibility to make a safe pass on blue flagged cars. Remember some events will be a multiple stop race. Blue flags could represent drivers on a different pit strategy. If you are a blue flagged car, you are allowed to unlap yourself at anytime in the race. Common sense is the best tool in these situations.

ARL is committed to clean, fun, competitive but fair racing. We’re all here to have fun so bring the good vibes only. Purposely blocking other drivers or sabotaging races will not be tolerated along with driver bashing after a race. Most disputes can be worked out via private chat. Practice server will be available for each event. Weather will be locked in 7 days before the event using Accuweather. ARL’s incident reporting will open 12 hours after each race on discord. Make sure you stream or record your race for incident reporting.

Any questions or comments, DM @PrinceNiek on ARL discord.
